Certainly not a told you so situation but there can't be one QPR fan out there who can say they are impressed by him or that he is doing a good job
I was very happy when Ollie returned, I thought he'd be the one to improve our playing style, bring back passion, have players playing for the shirt and move us up the league. I was wrong (and that hurts me to say). Things are so bad I've not attended a game for over a year now. As for a replacement Wycombe are doing well in league 2 with a young manager who can get the best from players from lower leagues on a budget. I say bring in Wild Thing (if he'd come).
I wouldn’t say I’m impressed or he’s doing a good job but I think it would be a poor time to get rid. Unless it gets to the point we are at genuine risk of relegation and need to gamble I’d rather re-assess in the Summer. I genuinely think the players are playing for him but some aren’t particularly good. I’d also question if it’s right to have a character like Bircham as #2 when maybe he’d be better served by more of a tactician. Much as I love Birch I don’t honestly know what his strengths are as a coach beyond being a bit of a lad and probably popular with the players.
Hey at least Holloway cares and he's QPR through and through. Who cares about **** football and a team heading to league 1. The bloke is a master tactician.....look at his record. FFS
Relegation is pretty improbable still. We are something like 14/1 to go down. If we don’t get points from the next few home games I may panic. Right now, no.
I could be entirely wrong and base my theory totally on what sort of player he was, his Twitter ramblings and the fact he looks like a dodgy white van man. He may be the next Guardiola in reality. Fleming I believe is the defence guy and I think the defence has improved in the last year. Stats may or may not back that up.
If we do get rid of Holloway maybe we could get an actual tombola machine in Pretty sure the organisers of brook green fair only need theirs once a year and that's in the off season
If we got a pretty poor 1 point per game from now we’d have exactly 50. Sunderland would need 25 points from a possible 54 to match that having achieved under a point per game so far. It’s possible we’ll do worse than that and if so we deserve to go but it’s certainly not probable or the odds would reflect that.
Sorry chaps but no excuses for this muppet anymore. Read some of the fans returning wasting loads of money. 2 shots on target against 10 men...10 f'ing men! let's hope this meeting on Monday is with the board. I wish we had Flavio making the decision
To be honest I think we should keep him to the end of the season, no manager is likely to come in at this stage of the window with nothing available to spend. If Ollie doesn't turn it round then we can get shot at the end of the season and hopefully appoint someone who will at least get us playing something resembling football whether in the Championship or League One. I really do wonder who is actually signing players for us as we've had more than our fair share of turkeys...
We had a promotion specialist and got rid once we were up, even though we weren’t then in a relegation place. We then had an experienced Premier League manager and former player and gave him the combination to the safe. We then had a very experience Premier League manager and supposed man-management expert, threw more millions at him and let him first demotivate, then usher out of the door the best player this club has seen in 20 years. We then celebrated the ascension of a talented youth team manager, who we thought would develop young players, but apparently didn’t really know what he was doing. We then hired a celebrated barnstorming former Premier League striker and rising manager only to see him field eleven players with instructions to minimise every game to a defensive 1-0 defeat. We then hired a prodigal son to get ‘Our Rangers’ back, only to find that he doesn’t want to field players in the positions they’re most familiar, is criticised for changing selections, then is criticised for fielding unchanged sides, but overall is best at wearing Peaky Blinders caps and spouting bull. What next for us? Who shall we recruit next to **** things up, eh? There must be a thousand useless ****s out there looking for the next maelstrom to agitate.
Fair enough, but criticising a man for his choice of hat is going a bit far. I reckon it’s one of his strong points, I’m a fan of the peaky blinder.
Honestly, though, Gray, when push comes to shove it’s about the choices Fernandes and his board keep making. When are they going to get one right?
They keep making the same mistakes time and time again. Ubes you are right it seems whoever we choose it seems to be wrong. I think if we got Alex Ferguson in, it would end in tears.
Unfortunately have too agree, seems to have his own agenda when comes to managers & not go for the best available at the time, CR, JFH & IH were all poor decisions. Not just that since SLF became DoF has coincided with us going steadily down hill from 20th in EPL followed by 12th then 18th in Champ & currently 16th with every chance of dropping below last year.
